Dear Members,

Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

Hyperbole? Yes, But there is truth to his words...First one must understand what a Spirtual weapon is... Answer? Noone knows.. according to zetsu it's a supernatural item.... Databook implies noone really know how or when exactly they appeared.. but the legends have been passed down for years

What should be noted is that is has NO true phyiscal form, meaning these weapons have no true shape, and could essentially become what shape or size the user wishes... They way we see them now is at a size fit for susanno, but when these weapons were found by Itachi, they wouldn't have been large, they could have been anything, maybe even the normal size of a katana and shield..

If you don't believe what i'm saying, Of course , I have proof , often overlooked

Here you see how yatta mirror is, a flat shield, a bit bigger than Itachi, but still smaller than susanno itself..

Sasuke then throws explosive kunai to cause and explosion

You can no see the shield has grown, as the head of susanno is no longer higher in the air

specifically talking about this

You also should note the sfx showing the mirror was shrinking after the attack..

Next feat of this? pretty obvious

If you don't see it

You clearly see it extended again, covering more in the back of itachi, which is not how it originally looked, considering its flat

Now I want you to pay CLOSE attention , to the last two pictures I posted, and realize that for this attack, Yata mirror has changed size and shape, and is now fully covering Susanno....

This means that no matter WHAT attack comes at Itachi, Yata mirror can Change not only its ELEMENTS, but its ATTRIBUTES , to deflect it.....

The databook even says this

Note that it changes its attributes and properties..

You should also be aware that yata mirror doesn't simply "block' all attacks.. It REFLECTS.. All attacks.. as stated like 500 times in the manga and databook..

MUU - Onooki

People, alot of people , have been putting Muu over Itachi simply because Jinton is a "360" thing.... they claim, that yata mirror and its frontward defence would not at all protect Itachi from the molecule disintegration..
Bullocks..

As Ive shown before, ANY incoming attack, would be countered by the mirror and reflected... even if yata mirror has to stretch in a 360 manner to do so , similar to what happened here

This isnt solely for Jinton....Any incoming taijutsu attack will be countered... yata mirror repelled Sasuke's and his kusunagi thrust....
People claim that A would be able to go behind yata mirror and attack.. Once again, this isn't a legendary spirtual item for crap and giggles..Like gaara's sand, the yata mirror protects the user from ANY attack

But how far can yata mirror really go?
Its not exactly clear, the databook mostly speaks of its impervious fortitude when pitted against jutsu

Material

Astral

Physical

and Ninjutsu

What I want you to focus on is the two bolded

as·tral
/ˈastrəl/
Adjective
Of or relating to a supposed nonphysical realm of existence in which the physical human body is said to have a counterpart.

Another thing everyone should note is the sheer speed that the shape manipulation happens... The mirror moves from its small state to incredibly large withing milliseconds of the attack actually hitting

Re: Yata Mirror Grossly Underated- HardCounter to Dust Release

honestly Totsuka blade was hyped to hell as well, but it all went out the window when Orochimaru came back, I think the only true way to prove this would be to see it put into action, but since it'll never happen, we'll never know, but hype of special attacks and weapons means little as of now.

Re: Yata Mirror Grossly Underated- HardCounter to Dust Release

I don't think Yata Mirror in itself is overrated - generally everyone knows that it's pretty much the closest defense to "invincible" in the series.

I think it's more of the fact that Itachi doesn't really have extraordinary chakra reserves to maintain Susano'o for extended periods of time in order to utilize Yata Mirror for a considerable amount of time. And Itachi has a fatal illness, so yeah.

That said, I do think there are possible counters to Yata Mirror. Just counters few ninja would be capable of executing.

Re: Yata Mirror Grossly Underated- HardCounter to Dust Release

"Invincible" coming from out of the mouth of losers like Iruka (to hype up Hiruzen) and Kabuto (to hype up Oro and Hiruzen) mean nothing because they have been proved wrong on multiple occasions.

However "invincible" is coming out of the mouth of Black Zetsu who is Madara Uchiha's very essence...you can't really dispute that Itachi Uchiha is almost virtually untouchable with his legendary weapons and Susanoo.
